The Top Model Tells

Indeed, you are looking for the man who took this photo? Yes, I remember! It was a nice gentleman here who needed some help with his camera. Finally we managed to get it in order and he took a photo of me. Why do you have his camera?

Let’s see what more our little tourist friend has to say.

What do you say, he was so nice! It’s very hard to think that he should do something stupid like poaching, but he said he was an angler.

New Information

I’m afraid that the man you are looking for went home. He was a tourist here like me and my family. During his stay here I saw hi do a lot of fishing round Fort Pinta, probably looking for new challenges. When you are a tourist it can be hard to know what you are allowed to do or not. Is there any information about what rules you have for fishing on this island?

Objectives: Talk more with Gunther.

I’m pretty sure poaching is a universal no-no. And ignorance is about the lamest excuse in my book.

I think it may be helpful to check the information. Maybe James can brief the tourists when they arrive, about protected animals and the nature on the island.

Quest completed

Go over and speak with James about Gunther’s suggestion.

Ask James

Do you know Rita, it sounds like a good idea. I’m sorry that my tourists have caused problems. Of course I will inform them better in the future. Give Mr Andersson my best and apologize for the lost fish.

Hello again Rita! Wow, that was a good story. I don’t think that James shall claim responsibility for it all, you know what? I haven’t seen a single sign about the fishing ban.

______________

Collect Wood

Would you like to help me make signs about the fishing ban? I know that I have all the material needed, but old and muddled as I am I have misplaced both hammer, nails and wood. Third time lucky? Do you want to ride around the lake again and look?

Objectives: Look for hammer, nails and wood around the Valedale Lake.

Ride to the marked locations on your map and pick up the pieces needed to make the signs.

Return to Mr Andersson when you have everything.

Great, I’ll take care of the rest.

Quest completed

Return to Mr Andersson tomorrow.

Now let’s see what Avalon has found in the report.

A Faked Report for Mr Sands

Now I’ll tell you Rita. The report talks about them experimenting with new drilling methods up by Valedale Lake. They are trying using Pandoric crystals to make the drilling more efficient… And this is what is contaminating the water.

The worst thing is that they are fully aware of how dangerous it is but it doesn’t seem to bother them in the least. Seems like their experiment is going very well, it says so in the report.

But, I should tell you, have rewritten the report to say the exact opposite.

Now the report says using the crystals makes the drilling slower! Am I a clever man Rita? Ho ho! Ride down to Moorland Beach and deliver the report and we’ll see what happens.

Objectives: Ride down with the faked report to Moorland Beach.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Go back to Moorland, to the Dark Core base and give the report to the one Dark Core guy on the beach.

Report from the base at Valedale Lake? Where have you been? Mr Sands is very disappointed that the report is late. Give it to me!

Quest completed

______________

Back to Valedale Lake

Mr Sands is very angry that it took such a long time to deliver that report. You are absolutely going to get fired. Hehe. Ride back to Valedale Lake and report back there. The boss will decide what to do with you. Get going!

Objectives: Report back to the boss at the Valedale Lake base.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back up into the mountains by Valedale Lake and report to the boss there.

What are you doing here? Didn’t you get fired?

______________

Shutting Down

Grr… If I could, I would fire you right now… But I can’t as I have just been fired myself! Everyone here has been fired! I don’t understand… The drilling was a great success!

The poisonous waste? Eh? I don’t care about that. If I can get rid of it? Ha!

If I get a million Jorvik Shillings maybe. Do you have that kind of money? No? Then you can forget it. I’m just going to collect my things and get out of here with all the machines and gear.

Hmm… Maybe I can get a job with G.E.D.?

“I need to speak with Avalon about the waste. Maybe he will have an idea?”

Objectives: Speak with Avalon about the waste.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Go back to Avalon’s house in Valedale and tell him about this new development.

The cinder? That is what is poisoning the water Rita. We have to find a way to get rid of it… But how? Hrmmm… Haha! I think I have an idea Rita.

Quest completed

______________

Convincing Powder

I have an idea Rita. We can’t dispose of the waste properly ourselves but with a little trick we might be able to get Dark Core to take care of it themselves. Hoho! We can mix a magical powder that makes the person who eats it do what they are told, a hypnotic is what it is called. Let me tell you about it…

Objectives: Listen to what Avalon has to say.

Avalon will tell you what you need to do to make the powder.

Okay then… You need to get three things for me.

Quest completed

______________

Valedale Herb

There is some Valedale Herb growing behind my house. It has strong magical properties and it also tastes delicious. When I analyzed it before I noticed that it had taken in some of the green water and had become much stronger than normal. Good luck from bad one might say. It should be perfect to mix the hypnotic powder with. Bring me five leaves of the Valedale Herb.

Objectives: Behind Avalon’s house there are some Valedale Herb plants. Bring him five leaves from those plants.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Pick five leaves of the herb and return to Avalon with them.

Good. These herbs should be perfect.

Quest completed

______________

Three Stones

Another ingredient for the hypnotic powder comes from a kind of stone. It doesn’t look much different from other rocks, pretty much like all the others. But look specifically for stones that have a little bit of a blue tinge down by the river, that is where you will find them. Find three of the right kind that we can grind down.

Objectives: Down by the river there are blue tinged stones that Avalon needs. Collect three of them.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

There is one stone by the reeds near the waterfall. The other two stones are down the road. You shouldn’t need to go much farther past the Valedale Lake Road. When you have the three stones, return to Avalon.

There we go. When we have ground up these stones we can mix them into the powder.

Quest completed

______________

A Mortar

To mix the powder we need to grind up both the stones and the herb. For that I’ll need my old mortar that is in the shed behind my house. Pick that up and we are ready to start making the powder.
